Why do people feel the need to be something they’re not. People tend to care too much of what others think, when in reality those same people could give two shits about you. Spending your whole paycheck trying to keep up with the next person, buying designer clothes and sunglasses (that break within a week, might I add) and all types of materialistic things that shouldn’t matter. If you can afford it fine, but if you buying the new Jordans that cost $200 and then turn around and ask me for gas money?! My reaction will be: UM, WHAT IN THE HELL IS YOU SMOKIN’ ON?! Get your priorities straight! Buying $1000 rims, earrings, Gucci shorts, and shit pulling right in front of an one bedroom apartment complex. That shit boggles my mind. Then they get mad at you because YOU won’t spend your hard earned dollars on them to “help” them out. No, you dont need my money to “help” you out, you need Jesus.
I could care less what others think of me. I don’t feel the need to try to “keep up” with anybody else. I have a great job, nice car in good shape (Point A to Point B, sometimes C), and I’m paying for school myself. I’d never spend my whole paycheck on some bullshit so others can say, “Damn Terri got on the new Baby Phat outfit. But, shit she just asked me for $5 to get something to eat.” NEVER THAT HOMEBOY! Another thing, that irritates me with our generation is that too many of us are worried about the wrong thing. Meaning, worry about yourself and your problems, don’t worry about what’s going on over here. B/C 9 times out of 10 you have all your information wrong and that’s how shit gets started. I’ve become more private over the years, I hardly trust anybody with my information. Ha, I’ve been dating a guy since February and nobody knew until a few days ago. A lot of people usually have bad intentions so it takes a minute before I can warm up to anyone. Some people understand and some don’t. Oh well.
I’m off work for the day. Heading home to relax and catch up on a few things I’d let slip because I was being lazy. Hope you all have a blessed day.

I’ve never felt the need to “keep up” with anyone. Materialistic things aren’t what really makes a person happy. I didn’t know that until I started having my babies and now they come first. As far as the privacy thing goes, I completely understand. As a matter of fact I honestly don’t socialize much at all. I keep to my business and make sure others keep to theirs. I never offer information about my life to anyone because most people can’t keep their fucking mouths shut anyway. You definitely make some good points and I can completely relate.
I’ve always wondered why people cared so much for what others thought. I’ve always had to remind the people I care about that they should never worry about what others think because those “others” damned sure aren’t worried about them. People tend to get mixed up in the material world just to impress other people and wonder why their bills aren’t getting paid and they never have money in their pockets.
very well said. lol…
I sometimes wonder why folks are more concerned with driving the new hotness, but have never considered banking some cash into a 401k for their future. straight craziness…
Meh. I had a guy who ruined what we had because of that bull. He was worried more about his status and spotlight each and everyday and he ruined himself. h well, dunt need any of that mess in my life.
I do sport name brand stuff and have a few nice things because my folks can afford it. But I don’t site here begging them for bullshxt EVERYDAY, EVERY month because I know there are a little more important things out there than getting my hair done evey weekend….then turnning bald-headed. Or buying ApplBottoms that don’t fit my toosh. Hmm, or $300 shoes?! Pssh. Nah.
People honestly need to get a grip with all this materialism. Not to mention other chaotic crap they fall into.
Great post man =D
What kills me is the individual who graduates from high school and just spends all their time buying these designer labels and getting the latest phones and plasma screens instead of investing in their education and taking some classes that will take them somewhere. Pure BS, love the blog
Nice Baby Phat information (i like it) I only think they are a little bit expensive, don’t you think? Bye Bye
